I’m having a hell of a time getting responses from recruiters and even cds. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s my iCloud email address and my emails aren’t going through. Any tips to break through?

I automated my outreach so I'm hitting up hundreds of ECDs, CDs and agency recruiters multiple times a year. The response rate is very low, but enough to get me occasional solid opportunities. Most of the time, those opportunities come after I've hit the person up multiple times and the timing works out.

Point being, you can't just contact them once. Don't take silence as a reason to never reach out again. You have to keep checking in so you're top of mind when something does come up.

Sorry, I'm not ready to reveal my secrets :-)

Stop expecting any response at all. That’s the only tip you need.

The only responses I get these days usually include something similar to 'thank you for your interest. after careful consideration.... 🤦🏽‍♂️FML

The answer is most likely org-side. No roles or open needs at the higher levels and since the market is flooded people have simply stopped responding unless there’s a role they’re looking to fill.

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
